Chronic Pain Therapy for Athletes

Persistent pain doesn’t have to be part of your game.

If you’re an athlete living with ongoing pain long after an injury has healed, you’re not alone. Chronic pain can hold you back mentally, emotionally, and physically. The good news? It’s possible to rewire the brain and break free from that cycle.

Why do athletes experience chronic pain?

Even after injuries heal, many athletes continue to experience pain. This is because the nervous system can become stuck in a heightened, protective state, continuing to send pain signals, even when the body is physically safe. This is called neuroplastic pain.

It’s real. It’s common. And most importantly, it’s treatable.

Still in pain, even after doing all the “right” things?

Sometimes pain lingers, even when scans are clear, doctors give the green light, and you’ve done the physical rehab.

You might notice:

  • You’ve been medically cleared, but still feel pain

  • You avoid certain movements because you fear the pain will return

  • Pain disrupts your training, recovery, or performance

  • You’ve done physical therapy, but something still feels unresolved

This work is designed to help you rebuild trust in your body, reduce pain, and move forward mentally, emotionally, and physically.

What athletes can expect:

Reduced or resolved persistent pain, even after months or years of symptoms
  • Greater trust in your body and freedom of movement
  • A more complete recovery when paired with physical therapy or medical care
  • Improved focus, emotional regulation, and mental clarity
  • Relief from fear of re-injury or movement avoidance
  • Long-term support for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being

You’ve done the rehab. You’ve followed the plan. But pain is still in the way.

Let’s discuss how I can support your recovery and performance.
